I was thinking about the origin of words and it seems to me, that for atleast animate objects(living beings) their designations arrived from the noises they made(perhaps prior to words we used symbols, which marks the fact that we could distinguish and reproduce those features different from ourselves and ourselves, and in a mute world, the first form of language i.e. that which is not the animalistic growling and speaking of which, the mode of communication present in animals is mostly this. It cannot be called a language, because well, it is wholly uncharacteristic of languages as we understand them; It lacks the sophistication associated with language as most of this primitive type of communication is simply the natural noises -- growls and snarls, and all that we attribute to an emotional response-- and bodily responses (body language). A deer-captain might signify his herd of an approaching predator by simply showing cognisance of the predator by his bodily responses. Languages are far more, intentional in this aspect. More on sign language, one of its aspects is in cave paintings, which are more to do with recounting events (I'm not gonna lay much discourse on writing systems but they've evolved from this process of reproducing forms on any suitable canvas. This is atleast true for the chinese writing style and the egyptians.). But I imagine that, whilst on hunts, when a significant danger was spotted(say, a predator), humans relayed this to their hunting mates by a combination of making the noise associated with the predator and striking a pose unique to them, i.e. by mimicry. This doesn't clash with my earlier assumption that words for them arrived from the noises attributed to them, it was probably how these words were pronounced, but in writing it wholly came from the object's features). At some point we had to drop the 'mimic' act, since our hands proved to be insufficient to describe everything, and were left with simply noises and their signs(written words), which seems to be where we are today.
I haven't made much of an effort to make this seem coherent as its written on a whim. I'm not a very good writer(I mostly write to get my thoughts out, not for others to understand) and I have very little knowledge of linguistics and even littler of prehistory. But it seems to me, if you were to communicate with someone whose language you don't know and has no relation to your own(say an isolated amazonian tribe), you would use your hands and primitive noises to communicate with them. Formatting is a bit of a clusterfuck so simply read in order. I don't expect this to be right in whole(or right at all), but its a nice thought.

Read up on it, it might interest you. The summary would be that humans create fully grammatical systems from scratch, human language doesn't appear to come from anything prior or more primitive. Perhaps archaic humans/other hominids communicate in grunts, but bunch together a few humans who have no language, and they'll create a fully grammatical language. We are biologically hardwired for language is the deal, perhaps the biological hardwiring evolved from something prior, but once you have a human, you'll have a fully sophisticated language in a single generation.

Chomksy agrees with you, the jury is still out. The development of language likely began when humans started differentiating themselves from 'animal' -- what I mean by this is, thinking of themselves to be separate from the animal kingdom as a whole, and think themselves to be 'human'. The recognition of the self as subject. After this, probably the simple mode of communication associated with animals was evolved into 'language'. (This likely happened around 70k years ago)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_human_intelligence]

You're mixing up the development of the human capacity of language with the development of human language. Human language didn't develop, but the "human" capacity for language did, which can be reduced to simple natural selection.
The 70k thing might be about the cognitive revolution, which I also think is from Sapiens (and no, I haven't read it myself).

Guy moved to America, got his money up, and was considering settling in India to set up some kind of software firm in I think Kerala.

I'd like to think that the human sense of self is a consequence rather than a cause for our language abilities. The first few mutations for prosocial behaviours primed us for more complex communication. Once the necessary mutations to wire us for full speech came around and spread a little around the population, it's imperative that the mute ones had to die off. Rinse and repeat, till you get our level of communication.
As for differentiating ourselves from (other) animals, that seems to be present in at least some capacity in every species that 1) isn't habitually cannibalistic 2) knows who to fuck and who not to fuck (we can generally exclude dysgenic outlier traits like bestiality). I don't think language follows from the human consciousness of what is and isn't a human.

>As for differentiating ourselves from (other) animals
What I meant by that was, seeing ourselves above animal(even though we are animal), and consequently, seeing animal as object(or animals as not separate being equal to us but animal). As something lacking the same consciousness that we do.
Though I believe this and developing language to be the consequence of the same cause. With the developing of language succeeding it. I don't suppose differentiation led to language but the cause that caused differentiation. I don't know, I guess I'll have to get more information about this.

There's also an argument to be made for language itself being cause for us seeing ourselves as above animal (i.e. The Notion), rather than language and The Notion following from a common cause. We're splitting hairs on something from our best guess at a first principle. All speculation

We'll prune suggestions. I want to keep quality control decently minimal, with a format in some sense similar to EXITPROCESS. The only things I think are no-go's are anything obviously AI-generated or the topics that Indian media discusses. This would be heendu-musleem issues, women bad, (indian) and language issues (and the like) UNLESS it's "transformative," i.e. ranks high on Bloom's taxonomy. Instead of writing about how much Steppe blood (jai bhim) has, a better topic could be how Proto-Indo-European actually gained synthetic features (more grammatical genders, more cases) than when it started out (i.e. when Anatolian separated), which is unusual. Or maybe give an introduction to Ramanuja's philosophy using your own symbols. Just something a little detached from the daily news/Twitter cycle. Better than either of these would be to send in a poem, a story, or some daily observation that you built up and put into words. Basically any original thought works.
>What compels you?
People here write enough to fill a magazine every day, may as well use that time to write something a little more intentional. That and the fact that this site is imo past its lowest point. Most other boards had the quality of /b/ posts for the last year or two, or would get hijacked by /b/hangis. I haven't seen these many coherent sentences on here since 3.0. Also, anonymity keeps vanity writers away, and most contemporary Indian literature except for the old-school Hindi/Marathi communist circles is vanity literature.
We can take it slow, but I need a few submissions on the mail (hosea3212@proton.me) to get started. I'll make them public after the first 5 or so submissions (one of mine included).

Are you interested in an article on free will? Here is the skeleton of how the article would go:
First let us understand the current materialistic paradigm: There are 2 layers: A layer A and a layer B
Layer A: This is the causal chain, one event acts as a cause for another and so on and so forth; It is deterministic
Layer B: This is the 'randomness' substrate, qauntum physics tells us that the universe at a very small scale is probabilistic. It is a probabilistic layer.
According to this framework, if accepted as true, the logical conclusion is that the universe is deterministic on a macro scale; Despite layer B being probabilistic, it can be statistically understood and hence isn't random at the macro-level. Since the universe is determininistic on a macro-scale this implies that free will, shouldn't exist.
Now let's talk about my proposed mechanism for how free will works. If a supposed free will did exist, the mechanism CANNOT exist at layer A, since layer A is a causal chain; Cause A leads to event B, Event B leads to event C and so on and so forth. However, let's look at Layer B. This is where things get interesting.
Layer B is probabilistic. However, if the probabilities are tweaked (somehow), then this will lead to a different outcome, which then affects layer A and leads to a different end result. I feel free will operates by external entities (soul, spirits, demons, whatever the fuck you wanna call it) altering the probabilities of layer B which then results in a different causal chain, and end result in layer A. This principle allows anything which has a layer A and layer B in a certain configuration (I don't know what, but this is just my speculation) to be inhabited by an entity be it a soul, demon or whatever. The corrolary is that just because something has a layer A and B in that specific configuration doesn't neccesitate that that thing is inhabited. Thus there are soulless humans; hylics as the gnostics call them.

This basically is statistical mechanics (or information theory, depending on how you cut it). Layer B specifies microstates, the entropy of a system being the log of the number of microstates, layer A is your macro property. "Altering probabilities" of layer B does not result in a different causal chain, it results in a large number of new causal chains.
I had this idea when I was younger that karma operates on (what you call) layer A, and the need for a guru/deity/Jesus intervening is a moment of mangling those layer B probabilities. I personally don't think that way anymore, i.e. I believe that souls, spirits, demons, gods are ontologically separate from matter. Same idea as consciousness is not an aggregate of computations. Maybe for the hylic it is, but my consciousness is ontologically separate from quantum statistical mechanics. The determinism that exists in the physical world is then not coupled to human agency, and by virtue of the human "mind" existing the world is inherently not deterministic, even on a macro scale.
Regardless yes, you could write out an article on this, it is a forever interesting topic. If you have an idea of what visuals you're thinking of, drop that too. Please no AI, if you don't have a reference and can't do graphics, send a paper sketch, me or a friend (or someone here who would be interested) will handmake the visuals. Happy Republic Day.
